Flowers and messages were left at a mural of Mrs Halappanavar in Dublin today.

The mural created by the artist Aches, outside the Bernard Shaw pub in Portobello, went up on Thursday and became a focal point for Yes campaigners.

Some people were in tears as they left flowers by the mural and taped messages to the wall.

Health Minister Simon Harris said the Mrs Halappanavar was in the front of his mind when he voted, but he was not sure the new abortion law should be called Savita's Law.

Mr Harris said: "I'm not sure whether the bill should be called that, but it certainly will be Savita's law in many ways because Savita has had such a profound impact on the thinking of so many people in this country including myself."

Speaking on RTÉ Radio One, Mr Harris there were many others who suffered because of the Eighth Amendment that new legislation could also be named after.
